1970mcss Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I'm re-doing the interior this winter. My question on the seat backs and lower seat panels. My car needs the moldings around the seat back replaced. The lower panels don't have the moldings. I have seen pictures on line that show both some with and some without. The panels are in good shape so do I just replace a the molding or the panels too. The parts place has the molding kit for 85.00 but the complete panel kit for 169.00. Not sure if anyone has used the molding kit. Let me know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I got the molding from Ames Performance (a pontiac outfit). It was nice and thick like the OEM compared to some of the thin stuff offered elsewhere. Not sure what the Parts Place is offering. I think the Montes only had it on the backs, but I put the molding on the lowers too, I think it looked a little better that way. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1970mcss Posted November 14, 2021 Author Share Posted November 14, 2021 I will take a look. The parts place probably offers the panel kits for all the gm models. I also think it dresses up the interior. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overdrive Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 If you're asking about the chrome edging, some cars came with it both top and bottom, but not our cars. They only had it on the top. Dan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jft69z Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I think the part number I got was: https://secure.amesperf.com/qilan/Detail_Web?part_num=A132Z&order_number_e=MzE1NjU2MQ%3D%3D &web_access=Y They sell just the back pieces for $69, part number A132ZR A lot cheaper than the P/P too. I initially got the ones Legendary offers, too thin. They're still sitting in the basement if someone wants them pretty cheap. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MC1of80 Posted November 14, 2021 Share Posted November 14, 2021 I added it to the top and bottom of Big Red, my 70 SS when the seats were redone. On black, the chrome really pops and just looks better. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SS Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 At the risk of soindong cheap, I don't mind saying, Before spending all that (US to Cdn) money I thought I would try the $4.99 fix from the Bianca Liquidation Center here in the city. It fit like a charm and although it's not Factory I find it's a great fix for now! They also sell at Canadian Tire for $19.99 but is a little too small to fit.

jft69z Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 Do you have an actual piece of that we can look at? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare SS Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 I will take a pic when I get to the shop, but unfortunately have been re-cuperating at home for about a month.🙄 Can't wait to see my car again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragCat Posted November 15, 2021 Share Posted November 15, 2021 My 70 SS only has the trim on the top, but I like the trim look on both upper and lower. But I'm not a "stock" concour guy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SS Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I was able to get a ride to the shop today and take a few pics of the $4.99 chrome edging I found at Bianca Amour's discount store. Btw, you can usually find the same type in a lot of stores for up to $20. It was super easy to install and looks great! Now I just have to buy some headrest escutcheons, paint the seatbacks & buy those little chrome bullets to finish off the process!

1970mcss Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 They do look great, did they just clamp on or did you have to use some adhesive?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare SS Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 They simply clamp on... No muss, no fuss! I did have to "spring" for 2 packages though😉 Jeff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
